Notes
a) Russet potatoes are recommended due to the fact they are better suited for prolonged cooking.b) 32 oz of beef broth can be substituted for the concentrated homestyle beef stock and water.c) If you prefer the tomatoes to have a finer texture, mash with a fork or rough chop in a food processor prior to adding to the slow cooker.
